Abstract
Monica Macovei, a civil rights lawyer with the Romanian Bar Association, examines both institutional causes of misconduct and existing mechanisms of accountability in Romania in Police Impunity in Romania: Military Jurisdiction Over Misconduct Cases. She focuses her strongest criticism on the role of military courts in investigating and prosecuting criminal wrongdoing by police officers. The monopoly of military courts over such cases, Macovei argues, undermines equality before the law, precludes the independence of judges, threatens the impartiality of prosecutors, and inhibits fair and thorough investigations. She concludes that the police must be accountable to a civilian justice system.
